First up is Butter London Disco Biscuit vs. OPI I'm All Ears vs. China Glaze 108 Degrees. They are all very similar, Disco Biscuit is a tiny bit lighter and brighter than I'm All Ears and 108 Degrees...it's more noticeable in the second photo. The shimmer is more micro glitter like in Disco Biscuit and more glass fleck like in I'm All Ears and 108 Degrees. Really, the differences are pretty minimal! For the photos below I used 4 coats of polish for Disco Biscuit and 3 coats for I'm All Ears and 108 Degrees.

OPI If You Moust You Moust vs. OPI Shorts Story. This was requested by Notaj! I'd say they are pretty good dupes, if you have Shorts Story I'd pass on If You Moust You Moust. I used 2 coats of each for the photo below.

Chanel Peridot vs OPI Just Spotted The Lizard. Again, pretty much dupes here. The OPI looked to have more blue in the bottle but it didn't translate onto the nail. I used 2 coats for each polish in the photo below.

OPI Number One Nemesis vs OPI Brand New Skates. This was requested by Melanie. Unfortunately, they aren't too close, but they are both very pretty! I know a lot of people have been saying Number One Nemesis is close to Chanel Graphite but I don't own it or any of it's close dupes to compare it to. I used 3 coats of Number One Nemesis and 4 coats of Brand New Skates for the photos below.

Chanel Peridot vs OPI Just Spotted The Lizard- wow they really look the same. I really wanted the Chanel one but now don't see a reason to pay the Chanel price if I can get the OPI for way cheaper- thanks

I spotted Chanel Peridot in the mall near me, it works out to the equivelant of $43 USD!!! I'd love to get the OPI dupe of it at some point, so pretty. Not that OPI is cheap, but I'll take $10 over $43 any day!

Thanks for the comparisons! I really like Disco Biscuit, but not enough to pay Butter London prices for it. Knowing that there's two close dups for it really excites me...I want to get the whole Minnie Mouse collection and seems like that will be perfect for filling my desire for the color!

Thanks sooooo much for doing comparisons! These help so much, esp when $ is tight and also you have a stash the size of mine and usually cannot find anything when you want it - like today - where are the 2 other shades of my Nubar Flecks???? I have Disco Bis. & 108 Degrees so no on the All Ears - I really love fuchsias so it would have been a hard one for me to turn down. I am wondering also if in with these 3 is the ' Be a Dahlia Won’t You?' from OPI's Nice Stems collection is not close in there too - might be a tish lighter. Chanel Graphite and One More Nemesis are really close looking at this point to me, but I don't have side by side look/see yet. Peridot I did not like on myself - so won't be buying Lizard. Have Short Story and I bet a lot of others that are good matches for the hot pink cream mouse!

Great swatches! I was wondering how the reds compared in the Spiderman, Minnie, and (Im drawing a blank for SOME reason?!?!) the new summer one..lol "Red Lights Ahead..Where" Im just wondering since I have "Red lights Ahead..Where.." If I should still purchase the reds from the other two collections. Also, to me it seems "Pink Friday" is lighter than "Moust" is it that way in real life> I know how tricky the photos can be. Thanks hun! Keep up the great work! Best nail polish blogger yet!! Also, do you have a Facebook??

There wasn't a red in the Spiderman collection, there aren't any dupes within Spiderman & Minnie...not sure if that's good news or bad news lol! Red Lights Ahead...Where unfortunately isn't a dupe for anything in either collection :(

Thanks for doing the comparison between "The Lizard" and "Peridot". I've wanted the Chanel one for the last year, but there was no way I was paying that much for a polish (if I could even find it!). Just ordered the OPI polish! :-)

They are pretty close. I went to the store with Carbonite swatched on a nail and compared to the sample swatch at ULTA. Plus, Carbonite is a dupe for the chanel polish which means that it is essentially the same as the OPI.
